Carnegie Medal – past winners

Have you read any of these? We have purchased most of them for the Library. Please note that, until 2006, the year refers to when the book was published rather than when the medal was awarded i.e. the 2005 winner was announced and the medal presented in July 2006. From 2007 this has changed.
